The Range At Lake Norman Earns Five Star Rating

The Range at Lake Norman in North Carolina is the first range in the state to receive the Five Star designation from NSSF. To make the honor even more distinctive, the facility earned its Five Star status in its first full year of operation — faster than any other Five Star range currently holding the title.

“It is an honor to be recognized as a top range,” said Tricia Sisson, co-owner and CEO of The Range at Lake Norman. “We have a highly trained, dedicated staff and a clean, inviting facility. Our customers continuously tell us the range is beautiful, and our people are the friendliest, most helpful in the industry. We are so pleased the NSSF has recognized the effort our staff puts into the day-to-day operation of the range, the newest and most technologically advanced facility in the Charlotte region.”

“It’s an incredible feeling to be the first Five Star range in North Carolina,” Stukbauer said. “We pride ourselves on providing the ultimate customer entertainment experience, and that obviously showed through to the evaluators from the NSSF. We will continue to strive to make every guest experience an enjoyable and memorable one, and provide the best customer service of any retail establishment in the Charlotte and Lake Norman area.”

Sisson and Stukbauer are finely tuned to the needs of their customers. In addition to hosting a wide variety of firearm and self-defense classes — from concealed carry and advanced concealed carry to NSSF’s First Shots — the range also hosts Ladies Night on the last Tuesday of every month. This signature event goes hand-in-hand with regular promotions geared toward female shooters, like a Bersa 380 Breast Cancer Edition giveaway during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

The Range at Lake Norman, which opened in October 2011, offers an extensive array of firearms for sale, along with services; 15 state-of-the-art firearms lanes, six of which are rifle rated up to .50 BMG; and expert gunsmithing services. The facility also boasts the only commercially owned firearms training simulator in the Southeast, spacious classroom space and a professionally decorated members’ lounge.
